Welcome to SAS!
Nonmatriculated (non-degree-seeking/visiting) status in the New Brunswick School of Arts and Sciences is available to students who wish to enroll in undergraduate classes but do not need to earn degree credits, and do not wish to complete a degree at Rutgers
Nonmatriculated enrollment lets you. . .
- Complete courses for admission to graduate or professional programs
- Take classes for career advancement or personal enrichment
- Finish a major or minor begun during your first Rutgers bachelor’s degree -- A second bachelor’s degree is not conferred.

This option is available only to Rutgers alumni.

- Enroll in Fall, Spring, Winter or Summer
